| Overview: | The celebration of the life and loves of D.H. Lawrence. The story of a genius, a vigorous, funny, tender, tempestuous man shown in a remarkable portrayal by Ian McKellen.
The strong supporting cast of Janet Suzman, Ava Gardner, Penelope Keith, Maurizio Merli, and John Gielgud are never less than authentic and brilliant. A wonderful evocation of a time (1912-1930) when Lawrence, his wife Frieda (Suzman), and assorted friends and supporters traveled to America, Mexico, and Europe in search of peace and inspiration following the banning of his books and paintings.
The authorities could ban his writing and painting, but his genius was never meant to be hidden.
